Newark Gazette &
New Jersey Advertiser
Woods Gazette

After the fires of the Revolution had died down, the constitution been
adopted, and Washington inaugurated as our first president, John Woods
came to Newark and started its first local newspaper. He had served his
apprenticeship with Shepard Kollock, founder of the successful New Jersey
Journal, and now set up his own press "near the Episcopal Church"
of this "delightful village," approximately where the Hahne
& Company store stands today. He issued "Woods's Newark Gazette"
every Thursday beginning May 19, 1791. Like most of the newspapers of
that time, it was a single sheet folded to make four pages about the size
of our tabloid dailies of today.
